2nd Year - Michael Craig Martin and Pop Art Project




 2nd Year students created the above mirror image group object drawings, using coloured paper and acetate sheets, inspired by the work of Pop Artist,  Michael Craig Martin. Students also developed their knowledge of colour theory, creating four different painted colour boxes, using ordinary everyday objects as their subject matter. Check out the video to see the finished result.



Working in groups, students then created support study sheets, researching the life and work of Michael Craig Martin, and another famous Pop Artist.
